Another thing the flattrackers don't seem to worry about is head shake - on the straights they get down over the tank and put their left hand down on the fork leg....and at 140 mph the bikes go into what we would call a terminal tank slapper.They didn't care,just rode through it.
That ability to ride around problems is what made them dominant,and Rossi and Caparossi seem to be the only ones in MotoGP at the moment who can turn a handling problem into an asset,the others just get stuck.
